I am working on writing a search method where a user can type a string of words and I return all the objects that have fields that match all of the words in one or a combination of fields. Person first_name last_name Pet name Person has_many :pets I want to write some SQL so that if I search for "Tony AAAA" I will get all the people who have Tony and AAA either in their

I have a User class with a field called admin which is a boolean that determines if the user is or is not an administrator. I want to make it impossible for the last administrator for an account to be removed from the system. I need to protect against this both when deleting a user and when editing a user as you can revoke a user''s administrator privileges via a form. User

Does anyone know of a fix for the issue with prototype and replacing table rows in IE? render :update do |page| page.replace "row_#{params[:id]}", :partial => ''wireless_request/wrequest'', :locals => {:wrequest => @wrequest} end This ends up making IE throw an "rjs error [object error]" Searching around I found a couple of posts about

Do you design first the develop? Develop first then design? Do both simultaneously? Just curious, because I''m working on a site right now doing a little of both at the same time. -- Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My .rjs file page.visual_effect :BlindUp, "people", :queue => ''front'' #first action page.replace_html "people", :partial => ''person/person_compressed'', :collection => @search_results , :queue => ''end'' #second action, after first is done page.visual_effect :BlindDown, "people" , :queue =>

It would appear that using :include on a model that has_many with an :order on another model makes it so that the order is ignored. Is this supposed to happen? Strikes me as odd behavior. For example class Farmer < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :cows, :order => ''position'' end class Cow < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_list :scope => :farmer end If I do

I am having trouble getting error_messages_for to work. My controller(relevant parts) looks like def configure @account = session[:account] @user = User.new end def add_new_user_to_account @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.valid? session[:account].users << @user end redirect_to :action=> ''configure'' end end and my

All, I am trying to perform a simple ajax task and am having some difficulties with the page showing the response. The action performs, but no response on the page. I have found examples on the web and I believe I have copied and pasted exactly what works from the demo site. However, on my system it isn''t finishing. For a simple test, I have limited it down to an alert.

I''m trying to implement a remove from cart method based on the examples in the second edition Agile book. I have everything working except for the RJS that removes items from the cart. Ideally what I''d like to do is highlight an element that I am deleting only if there is more than one of that particular item in the cart. If the item deleted is the only of

I have some specs that involve the use of eval and class definitions to test code generation. I want to always start with a clean slate so none of my tests fail or succeed incorrectly due to artifacts left over from previous specs. Example of my situation Spec 1 defines class Fish class Cod < Fish Spec 2 defines class Animal class Cod < Animal In this situation the

I have action caching setup for several actions of an application but I want the caching to only run for my administrators and have all other users see non-cached pages. Is there a way to do this? Perhaps something like passing a block to caches_action or setting some sort of flag in my authentication method? If this is not possible with action or fragment caching does anyone know of a

Can anyone tell me what was used to create the Capistrano documents by Jamis? http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97

So, I have a User has_many :profiles. The most recently dated profile is considered the current one. I need to sort these users by name, but the name attribute is a member of the associated table. Is there any easy way to do this other than with some ugly find_by_sql? Maybe a more general question - is there a common solution to sorting in Ruby? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a Product and a corresponding Keyword (1:1 via belongs_to and has_one). I want to ensure, that two attributes (:name) of the two models alway stay in sync. What''s the easiest way to accomplish that? I did play around with before_/after_save hooks and with AR::Observers but in the end I''d always get infinite recursion... Thanks, Timo

Hi Guys, ActiveRecord is great for being able to drill down through many tables. I often locate the very "top" record, and have a render :action => "show" display that top record. Often I want to drill down like: @kingdom.phylums.classes.orders.each do |order| render :partial => "order/show" end But, depending on the user who is logged in, they see a

I am working on an application where users sign up for one of several plans. Each plan has a different monthly fee. There is no long term contract but I would like to bill the users automatically each month unless service is canceled. What credit card gateways would you recommend for use with a rails application? My criteria in order of importance are 1. API that will let me work in

I have two before_filters for a few of my controllers. They are running my own methods authorize and admin_authorize. authorize is called on just about every action to make sure that a user is logged in. admin_authorize is called on about 80% of the actions and is used to make sure that a user is an administrator. If a user tries to access an admin_authorize protected action without being

Let''s say that there is a web application which comes in several different plans. Each plan has a different number of users and content items allowed for an account. Obviously we can allow the user to upgrade to a higher level plan by just increasing their limits but how do we handle downgrades? If the user is only allowed x items on the downgraded plan and they currently have
